“At GFOS, we have always put our client interests at the heart of every investment decision we make. Backstop has empowered us with a better way to collaborate and synthesize critical information on a timely basis. Our experience has been very positive since day one, with the entire implementation process running smoothly since we transitioned to the system. Everything our investment team does that touches our investment activities is now facilitated by the Backstop platform. It has become an essential tool in our investment process.”
"We’re using Backstop to track where we are in the lifecycle of an investor – from prospect to close to stewardship.”
“We run private commingled funds across various opportunities that include everything from real estate to hedge funds. We also do more niche-type asset classes. For example, we own private golf clubs and manufactured housing communities, and make those opportunities available to our qualified clients. We like to think we’re able to ‘dig into the weeds’ in direct investing in a way that some of our competitors might not be able to.”
"Backstop has been a great solution for our firm and working with Backstop has been a great experience since the very beginning."
“Great system and very easy to access. Very powerful tool for Investor Relations and Marketing purposes."
“I work in Backstop 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It is our document database and main data depository. It provides us with the tools we use on a daily basis to both analyze and house our data and all the documents that we receive. Besides ease of use, ease of reporting, and ease of viewing, the Backstop Support people are top of class.”
“Not only are we happy with the cost savings provided by Backstop, we’ve experienced at least a 10% improvement in report generation time. By moving performance reporting to Backstop, we’ve improved our data accuracy, and it’s even helped us better communicate across the team. We’ve been really impressed by Backstop’s ability to listen to its users so that the product keeps evolving to meet our needs.”
“The Backstop software is constantly evolving, and the team behind it does a great job of listening and working with their clients to make their experience better, improving Backstop's functionality. Most importantly, the people behind the software truly believe in their product.”
“Backstop is very customizable…the client/marketing team has been able to build out our instance and do a lot with it. The support team is very responsive. The report builder has been extremely useful for our client team, and the ETK function even more so.”
“It was very much a patchwork of analysis that constrained the ability of the very talented people to extract the conclusions that they required.”
“Breadth of functionality. Quality of customer service. Strong focus on innovation, product improvement, and customer needs.”
"The Backstop system has helped us grow and accomplish more than we ever realized we could.”
“We are able to connect relationships, understand who the players are, and manage meetings and communications. The system and the tools Backstop has provided to us are second to none in that regard.”
“Backstop is very user-friendly, intuitive, and has broad functionality. It is not just a great platform for contact information and a repository for all client engagement, but also useful in marketing campaign management and identifying suitable targets. In addition, the support provided is professional, informed, and readily available to assist with functionality of the platform.”
“We can send out an email to our accountants and know they’re not going to see everything in the world. They’re just going to see what you told them they should see. It is genius.”
